Need Your Techxpertise - USB Hard Drive
 

Okay so I'm in the market for a USB hard drive preferably between 250GB and no more than 1TB. Figured some of you would know what to look for, what to stay away from, and possibly a good place to purchase one from! Thanks mates :)

Stay away from WD, I've had experience with bad cable connections.

^^^
my cable went to **** in less than 6 months. need to be in a certain position to work.

my seagate from 2008 is still runnin fine, too bad brand loyalty is kind of stupid when all that matters is the actual product and not who makes it. unless you're referrin to a very specific line of products, in which case it's completely fair to dismiss em.

I would recommend Toshiba Hard drives. Haven't had a problem with them and I have three

BTW I use them to transfer 50-100GB of virtual machines over frequently

thanks for the help guys! thinking of getting this one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/toshiba-...g27&ksdevice=c

funnily enough every shop that i've went to has been sold out of them, thank goodness for that! Thanks for the heads up :)

damn, i'm going to be using this pretty much every day, thanks for the heads up!

Hopefully your cable won't break
Doesn't matter anyways you can get them for cheap on eBay (always get a 3.0!!)
